    Caged up!

    Got a lot of my roll cage together today. Been scrambling to get the car done for practice. So much to do!

    Good pics...I am just warning you....I might be stealing these for the NEETS site....I'd rather have NEETS driver's personal photos in the rules section than something I Google'd!

    Just make sure the dog is securely fastened in before the race....we don't want him flying out!

    Do you guys build those cages completly by yourself, or do you order them then install them? this is going to be my first year racing. the car is completly ready to go with the exception of the cage. just wonderin where i might be able to get one from.

    I had the hoop from the old car and bought the rest from Jegs. You can order the cage kits from Summit or Jegs for particular applications. I founf S+W had the best kits. They are fit to that car and are pre notched. My last one was perfect....assemble and weld up!

    Don't forget about that camera mount!
    I just bought a video camera that I would like to put in your car. Seriously!
    Some in car video would be cool to share with everyone.
    If not a you Jack, then maybe it could be a Critter cam.

    Here's the camera.

    Bought it at BJ's in New Castle DE.

    Hey John,

    this is a quote from an older thread, but I think you might find it quite useful...

Usually takes about three hours. Total cost including the pipe is $ 395.00. There might be a little extra charge for gas money depending where he needs to go. Not a bad deal for someone that is inexperienced with bending tubing and welding. Safety of the drivers is his #1 concern, he stands behind his work. He is the track welder for big diamond & sundance speedways. Good luck to all.

    Oh...and Dave.......I'm not sure if that in-car camera idea is a good one....it has a built in microphone!!!!!

    The last thing we need to see is Critter inside his car talking to himself or announcing the race frim inside his car!!!!! LOL!!!! Of course, if we put it in Jack's car.....all we will see is Critter getting passed!!!!

    Love ya Critter!

    Got mine from Stock Car Products Ph # 804-232-3500
    Tell them what you need, they make it for you then you weld it in. Comes in a kit delivered by the big brown truck bearing gifts! Nothing left to the imagination.
